The vault of the Gallerie d'Italia in Piazza Scala
Designed in the early years of the last century by Luca Beltrami to house the safety deposit boxes of the Banca Commerciale Italiana, today it is the place, which can only be visited by reservation with guided tours, no longer contains safety deposit boxes but houses something equally precious: approximately 500 paintings belonging to the Intesa Sanpaolo collection.
Intesa Sanpaolo's long-standing relationship with miart demonstrates the Bank's constant support for the cultural development of the area, with the aim of consolidating Milan's centrality in the national and international panorama of modern and contemporary art and offering the city a further driver of economic, cultural and civil growth and development.
